44 Years of Roe: We Won’t Go Back

    NARAL, the pro-choice agency, released a video about the danger of Roe v. Wade being abolished or changed.  According to the video, President Trump and his pro-life congressmen are a threat to everything Roe v. Wade stands for.  They are doing everything they can to attack women’s health care whenever they can.  They are worried that Trump may appoint anti-choice supreme court justices who will affect abortion making it illegal or impossible to access safely.  But NARAL will not stop trying to fight for women’s right to have a choice.  NARAL is trying to spread news of their cause to get more support for pro-choice.
    This article focuses on the issue of Roe v. Wade and the current political leaders.  They address the possibility of the bill being repealed or manipulated to take away a woman’s right to affordable health care and her own body.  President Trump was the main antagonist? of the current abortion laws and the one responsible for the worry of pro-choice advocates of the possible abolishment of those laws.

Orrin Hatch

    Senator Orrin Hatch is a pro-life senior senator from Utah.  He does not see the restriction of abortion as evil because he supports the idea that unborn babies are humans and “everyone has the right to life.”  He believes abortion is wrong based on what it is, not why it happens.  “Abortion is the killing of living human beings.”  
    The ban on abortion may be restrictive of women’s rights from NARAL’s view, but based on Hatch’s statements, abortion infringes upon the human rights of the baby.  His address adopts the idea that unborn children have the inalienable human rights which includes the right to live.  This directly conflicts the principles of the pro-choice supporters who believe women should have the choice to have or not to have an abortion.  Some abortion laws have limits of when abortion is no longer an option, or when the fetus is considered “living.”  This gives the notion that they only allow abortions of the “unliving” unborn child.  Hatch says that every unborn child is “living” and deserves a chance at life.

#SilentNoMore

How effectively does the author make their case?              The author is effective in making their case.  They are very professional in her writing and tries not to offend people while relaying this woman’s story.  Their language is appropriate for the audience she is speaking to.  Also, she doesn’t attack the other side, so it’s more of an informative article. How convincing is the evidence that they present?             The evidence the author has is an actual account from someone affected by the “choice” given to women.  They illustrate her story with her actual account from when she decided to keep her baby to the moment her parents coerced her to have an abortion. Do you find this argument effective?             I find this argument effective because the example used appeals to the...

Effects

Mental Effects For the first article, I will use the sleep and nervous disorders as minor examples and drug use and suicide thoughts as more serious examples.  I want them to see that abortion although it may seem harmless, can cause lasting effects on the women that will cause potentially life-threatening situations.  In addition, leading them to the knowledge that counseling before and after abortion is the best way to prevent these effects.  Which is what the doctors recommend and usually require to have the women be informed of their decision. Physical Effects Before every surgical procedure, patients are informed of the potential risks of an operation.  But if you are never put in the circumstances, you probably won’t know about what may happen.  In the second article I will use these physical effect short term being, nausea, bleeding, etc, and long term, cervical damage and others, to help people see more clearly the dangers of this  procedure....
